Strmol Mansion

The mansion was first mentioned in 1436[1] as a simple fortified tower in the possession of the counts of Celje, who gave it in fief to Jakob Strmol of Cerklje.

In 1620 it was bought by Jurij Reising von Hartenstein; a chapel dedicated to St. Vincent Ferrer was first mentioned in 1682.

The manor had largely lost its defensive role by the late 17th century, when its fortifications were demolished.

In 1730 it was inherited by Marija Izabela Petazzi (Slovene: Petač), who leased it to the von der Durr und Egkh family for several decades.

[2] The small 16th-century two-story annex with inner courtyard served as an Austro-Hungarian district court during the 19th and the early 20th centuries; prison facilities are preserved in the basement.
